TS-2068 HOME ROM BYPASS 
Ey Willian Pedersen 


A major barrier to fixing the problems in the HOME ROM is one 
f access. Even though the ROM is socketed, you still have to 
pen up the case and risk damage 

This article shows how to replace the HOME ROM without 
suching a screw. It is not really necessary to replace ROM with 
‘PROM. A battery backed-up static RAM would do as well if 
‘quipped with a READ ONLY switch. That way, the RAM can be 
:ritten and then be switched to write-protect state. The saving 
n time over EPROM burning is very impressive. Of course, you 
„ill use EPROM in the end. 

This unit does not perclude using the DOCK port if it has an 
axtension connector and plugs into the DOCK slot. If you have a 
quss expander with slots, it can mount there, leaving the DOCK 
slot clear, but the former is what most will use. 

The design in Fig | is for the case where you might have 

doth. It works just as well if you don't have a buss expander. 
= Inside the case, and not externally available, is the signal 
hich enables the HOME ROM chip. This signal is labled ROMCS. 
Qur promblem is to get ROMCS externally by a logic operation, 
and to prevent conflict with the external ROM. 
.. Preventing conflict with internal ROM is easy. We just issue 
3E whenever HOME ROM is addressed. 

Detecting when HOME ROM is being addressed is a bit more 

difficult, but quite straight-forward. 

The HOME ROM is NOT being addressed whenever: 
1. Either of the address lines Ald or A15 is high, 

. EXROM is low for EXROM addressed, 

. ROSCS is low for DOCK addressed, 

. BE is low from another addressed bank, 

. MREQ is high, indicating 1/0 or interrupt cycle, or 
6. RD is high, indicating a write cycle. 

What logic could be simpler to implement? 


nm O0) m 


For over a year, I have used such a system of to implement 
bank switching, but external "RON" is core memory instead of 
battery backed-up RAN. It works like a charm, and can store 
grandfather copies of trial ROM images. 

Now that the creation of new ROMs for the TS-2068 has gotten 
a lot of attention, it would be a shame to let that year of 
working experience go to waste. 

Much of the “clutter” in the existing ROM should be removed 
to an expansion bank. The most glaring exanple of this is how 
much code is wasted supporting COPY and the TS-2040 printer. The 
sane applies to much of LLIST. A similar situation exists in 
EXROM for tape operations, but this can be salvaged by modifying 
it so the mikrodrive and other tape loop devices can use it. 

Some ROM routines, like SKIPIT, should be relocated back 
where they were originally; in this case down four bytes. The 
correct address was maintained intact in the routine PASSEM in 


EXROM. Removing two of the barrier error calls get it back t 
the right HOME ROM address. 

It is easy to go overboard and "fix" things which might 
please you, but not someone else; or assume an error exists when 
it is merely poorly understood how it was suppose to work. I 
Nave Sweated many hours over something that looked wrong, then 
Seeing something quite ingenious through the fog ib ny mind. 

PLEASE, PLEASE contact me before going ahead with new ROM 
developements. I have made more mistakes than anybody!

TELECOMUNICATIONS CORNER 
By Gary Lessenberry 


A quick note to remind our Chicago Area Tinexers that the 
Motorola Computer Club BBS (MCCBBS) at (312) 576-7072 does 
support the CATUG. It is a multi-user BBS that has three 
incomming lines and operates 24 hours each day. The systea also 
offers email, bulletins and files transfers. When you call the 
MCCBBS, you will need to strike your enter key several times 
after which a carrot ">" will appear on your screen. You then 
enter LOG SINCLAIR/GUEST. This causes the system to log you on 
as SINCLAIR with the password of GUEST. Once you are in the 
system, leave a message to Bob Swoger, the sysop, identifying 
yourself as a Timexer and requesting an account. He will then 
set up an acount for you where you use your last name to logon 
and your first name as your password. Therefore, future logons 
will be LOG LastName/FirstNane. 

I have put together a brief listing of telecommunications 

s for those who own modems, but know so little about then 
wat they're affraid to try using then.

information Interchange, a widely used system for encoding 
letters, numerals, punctuation marks and signs as seven bit 
binary numbers. 

BAUD : A unit for measuring the speed of data transmission. 
Many people interchange this term with EPS (Bits Per Second). 

BUFFER : A "holding tank" within the computer. This is a 
portion of memory where incoming data can be captured and then 
saved to mass storage. 

CARRIER : An audio signal on which the data from one modem is 
carried to and from another moder.

LINK : Communications between two or more computers. 

LOGON : Initial entry to a host computer system via moden. 

LOGOFF ; Disconnecting a link with a host systen. 

MACRO: A string of ASCII characters that can be transmitted 
by striking one key. 

MODEM: An acronym for MOdulator/DEModulator. A device that 
translate data into an audio signal and visa versa. ma 

PARITY : A fora of error checking used to check data that is 
being exchanged. Systems can be set to even, odd and no parity. 

PARAMETERS : The initial settings of your telecomaunications 
program that include, parity, stop bits, word length, and 
duplex. 

STOP BITS : When a character is transmitted, one or two stop 
bits will be sent to inform the recieving system that a 
character has been sent. 

SYSOP ; The system operator who maintains and operates a 
computer bulletin board system. 

TERMINAL MODE : That mode where your computer is online and 
you are communicating with another system.
